  1. Kev, if you like Historical Fiction read some Edward Rutherfurd.

    SARUM

    A novel tracing the story of the city of Salisbury and of five families through a hundred centuries of turmoil, tyranny, passion and prosperity. It charts the entire course of English history and the social and political forces that shaped its society.

    He has 5 books out currently.

  3. Hi All,

    I need to make an urgent request of all of you (and including myself in the mix of course). For the sake of sanity, and normalcy, and because more serious things can happen when you trash someone online....can we please calm down? Things get said and taken out of context, and we're all lacking the emotional context of what we might say to someone face-to-face, but there's been so much hate on here and it really needs to stop.

    I'm not making this request lightly, nor am I holding myself in a higher regard than others. I'm making it because people I know and care about are getting hurt, or are hurting themselves. And while not everyone can know a person's situation in reality there are things going on here that are worsening them. Either making them weaker, or pushing them further down the wrong path. I'm not asking you to censor yourself, but I'm asking you to choose your words carefully and take another person's feelings and sensitivities into consideration.

    I guess this is me asking us to all think about what we're saying to one another here, realize that things can easily get misinterpreted, and that we're not talking to avatars but to real people. There's a great potential in this online community, I and all of us would hate to lose it I'm sure.

    Thanks,

    Adam

    I agree. While I dislike when things get deleted (censored) yesterday was out of control. I truely believe that much of what was said yesterday was in the heat of the moment and that people may be/are regreting in now.

  4. If you want to help and make a difference is one thing but playing the bureaucratic game to do so is another. In your heart is where it matters not by fu©king around with "how can I get out of this contract with the most money" ("trying to figure out how to force their hand and get a buyout of my full contract").

  5. " Should a high school student have a choice when buying lunch/food at school? fries or salad? juice or pop? Or should the unhealthy choices be removed from school? We can't stop children from eating junk food, but we can do our part by educating them about it and by not making it as easy to get. And yes, there's money involved ..."

    So many factors here. Educating the kids about this can only help, but with high school only be 4 years now where does this extra time come from? One of the biggest mistakes that the provincial government made was going to 4 years of high school (IMO). Nutrition/Health/Gym should be mandatory courses along with English and Math for all 4 years. Of course if we had 5 years (or even 6 years) of high school we could teach many other cool things as well.

  6. All 7 of the elementary schools that I work at have drink vending machines. 3 of these 7 schools have them located right outside of the kindergarten class so that every day the first thing these 3-4 year olds see is a big Pepsi/Aquafina sign (nothing like starting them young!!)

    These schools also have their "Theme" days 2 or 3 times a week as well to raise money for school events/trips(Pizza on Monday/Hotdogs on Tuesday/Hamburgers on Thurday type of thing)in order to offset the high cost of going on trips. Three days per week of eating crap for some of these kids.

    Not good.

  7. Well.....I don't get those kind of symptoms but I do get rather frustrated!!I'm sure I'm on someones stupid list.....I met you at Izzy's Sevenseasjim......did I give you a rash?

    Ah MamaRed, of course I didn't find you stupid. A had a rather nice chit chat with you.
